“Brenda stopped by our home to check on our kitties and make sure they were fed and given some love! She took a bunch of photos and did everything I asked and was very punctual. She was quick to respond and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who was looking for a trustworthy person to stop by while they’re away!”
About: My name is Gabby, I'm 25 years old, and I'm currently in the Navy looking for a little extra cash on the side. I own a dog (bulldog/pit mix) and a cat who have been with me for about two years now and grew up with a dog. I'm work well with dogs any size and cats as well. I look forward to looking after your fur babies! I'm currently working full time 9-3 but have time to check on anything you need before or after then. I'm also available every holiday if you want to make a vacation then! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog and a cat who had grown up with dogs her entire life. I will make sure to follow any instructions you provide me with!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since Middle School! In addition to having many family pets over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and have had many regulars. I treat each pet as if it’s my own and I take pet care very seriously since I also have my own and understand the importance of the care provided. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have worked with many rescues, large breeds, and many anxiety-ridden dogs. I have administered meds and dealt with heartworm with my rescue. I have had experience w/many special needs & seniors as well. I am currently working full time. This schedule is Tuesday-Friday. Weekday evenings after 5pm are available and Sat, Sun, and Monday are all flexible time-wise I currently have my own dogs so I would not bring animals here. I will treat each client’s home as they prefer and I’m very adept at adapting to different routines and environments.
“Rob was amazing! Very personable, experienced with dogs and committed to providing outstanding care! He went above and beyond what we could have expected, spent additional time with the one pooch who has extreme anxiety and tried to get him to come out of his shell. We are just so impressed with Rob, and will definitely use his services again!”
About: Having had pets for 20+ years, I understand the anxiety of leaving them. I treat each pet as family, ensuring they're well loved and cared for ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my visits if needed. I’m also available during most weekends for care. I stick to your pets schedule, providing walks, meals, and play at times they’re familiar with. I ensure they’re comfortable and loved while you're away.
“Our dogs love Cindy! She was prompt and attentive to our crew despite having a personal issue, which required her daughter to effortlessly step in for a few visits. A+”
About: I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was about 12 years old. I went on to take Veterinary Medicine courses through my high school, while I interned at a local animal hospital. I then went on to work as a kennel tech at a boarding and daycare facility for a year, then moved to another vet to start putting my knowledge to the test! I am now enrolled and in my second year of online school to get my bachelors in Animal Health and Behavior, and I absolutely love my job as a vet tech assistant! I’m currently only working part time so I have more time for school, but I do have some extra time on my hands. There’s no better way to spend free time than playing with furry friends! I have plenty experience in basic dog/cat health, including handling aggressive, overly energetic, or untrained pets, as well as “breakout artists”, who might be prone to fence-jumping or getting out of kennels. During my experience working as a kennel tech, I learned many different ways to handle an array of behaviors.
About: I love dogs but not enough to steal yours because I have high morals. Does your dog have a lot of energy? Do they need to be outside and exercise? I will take them for a run, to play fetch, tug of war! Or if it’s an older dog than maybe an easy stroll around the neighborhood and back home for a nap. Each dog is different and will be treated as the best good boy (or girl). I have dog sit for friends and family in the past with no issues. So just know if you go with me your lovely pup will be cared for. I am seeking dogs to bring some joy into my life and hope that you will choose me!
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with dogs and 1 year of experience caring for cats. Animals have been a central part of my life, and I truly enjoy building trust with each pet I care for. For the past 3 years, I’ve also been an active foster with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, caring for dogs in need of temporary homes, and I’ve recently begun fostering cats as well. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with animals of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ve cared for puppies through senior dogs (up to 15 years old), including pets recovering from illness, surgery, and ongoing medical conditions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and providing calm, attentive support to pets who need a little extra care and patience. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a gentler routine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I treat every animal like they’re my own and prioritize communication so you always feel confident while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent and natural part of my weekly routine. I currently foster dogs through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and also care for foster cats, so my days already revolve around feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, training reinforcement, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I’m used to structuring my day around animal needs, including early mornings and flexible check-ins throughout the day. Because I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and animals recovering from illness or surgery—I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to provide reliable, attentive care when needed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space that is clean, supervised, and free of hazards, with routines that help animals feel secure and comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and aim to minimize disruption. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, training guidelines, and any behavioral notes. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured and that pets are always supervised during care. Because of my experience fostering through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I’m very comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including anxious animals, seniors, and pets recovering from medical issues. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care so pets feel safe and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“Ryley was such a big help!! I really appreciated her flexibility, timeliness and communication while she helped me care for my pup recovering from surgery. She even recommended tips to assist with my dog’s recovery. I know I had nothing to worry about while I was away :) I would give Ryley my highest recommendations and will definitely be reaching back out for future arrangements. Thank you, Ryley!”
About: I am an experienced dog groomer for over 18 years, my whole life is to love, and take care of dogs. They are cared for as if they are family I work full time , but it’s a slow season so I am looking to add more dogs to my life , I have time to take care of anyone’s pet I would take care of your pet at your home, or mine. They will be around my two beautiful dogs of my own, plenty of space with a yard to run
“Florian is an amazing caretaker! I was a little worried because my pets have a specific routine and need time to build trust, but Florian fit right in. He took care of my family (one dog and two cats) and was extremely detail-oriented. He made sure he knew where everything was, from pet supplies to cleaning supplies, so I could be as hands-off as possible. My dog got plenty of playtime, and my cats got plenty of petting and attention. His communication and updates were on point throughout. I would definitely book with Florian again!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off since I was 12. I love animals of all kinds and my husband is a veterinarian, so I get to hear about animals on a daily basis and I want to put some of that knowledge to use. I currently work full-time remotely, so I am free all during the day to walk dogs or to house/dog sit, as long as there is WiFi, I can work anywhere! I am happy to dog walk or dog/house sit! Whatever is most convenient for you, I am willing to make it work! Once I get to know your pet, I know we’ll be best friends!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11! I've taken care of various animals of all different sizes, breeds and ages, including, dogs, cats, small critters (guinea pigs, hamsters), and even horses! I understand it is important to get the best care possible for your family member and it takes a lot of trust! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason, so I have lots of weekend availability to play with your pet while you run errands or go on a quick weekend trip! Safety is of utmost importance to me and I will always ensure that your pet is as safe as possible. I have experience with crates for both cats and dogs if needed and will always be sure to check in about any safety concerns regarding your pet.
“Our dog immediately felt comfortable with David. He was very patient and thorough with her, and even tidied up her food and surrounding area. His communication was perfect and very proactive. He is the only person we will consider in the future. Thanks David!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child, and have a deep love for animals. I have two fur babies of my own: one since he was puppy and the other since he was 1. I trained them both, and especially offered additional support and love to my one dog who was a rescue after being a surrender. I have incredible patience, and offer a safe, healthy, and loving environment for your precious fur baby. I currently work from home full time so your fur baby will never be deprived of attention. I have lots of dog toys, 2 dogs who are wonderful with other dogs, so your pup will have lots of stimulation. We will be sure to go on plenty of walks to get fresh air and time outside. Although I do not have a fenced yard, your pup will not have to worry about getting time outside. We will take plenty of walks. My 2 dogs are very social and love to interact with other dogs. If I am coming into your home, I will follow all directions you provide, and ensure your fur baby feels comfortable.
“Anastasia is great! My kitties love her. I feel comfortable having her coming home to watch over them. She is responsible and always comes on time and send me videos and pictures of the them in every visit. I’d recommend her:)”

Kiera was so patient and gentle with my new rescue. What was supposed to be a 30 minute drop in turned into a 60 minute struggle when he started to freak out and refused to go back in his crate. While others might’ve been scared of him or give up, Kiera worked with him and me to get him safely in his crate as was so understanding about the whole situation. Definitely someone I’d trust to watch my pets anytime as long as she was willing to come back
Madison from the moment I first spoke with her showed intent interest in making sure to try to get to know and understand my dog as best as she could. She has an innate talent and comfort around animals and was able to get my boy to trust her within minutes of them first meeting. She always took the time to make sure he was cared for and looked after and always went above and beyond to make sure he was always looked after. I will always feel comfortable having her look after my dog and am confident any pet in her care is in good hands.
Evelyn is an exceptional pet sitter! She is responsible, dependable, and clearly cared deeply for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. One of our pets is a 9week old puppy. I would absolutely recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
We've used Alyssia several times now and will absolutely continue requesting her! She stopped by for a drop-in visit to let our pups out for a quick potty break, feed them dinner, and give them their medications, and she handled everything perfectly. She even went the extra mile by washing their dishes and rinsing out the canned food container so I could just toss it straight into the recycling bin. That kind of thoughtfulness really means a lot! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands while we were out. Alyssia is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Frannie was amazing with my 2 dogs! One is very boisterous, the other is very cautious of people. Frannie was very calm, patient, and soft spoken with my cautious one. In minutes, Frannie won her over and she was asking for pets from her. Frannie also stayed the entire time that I booked her, she did everything that was asked of her and more. Will be booking with her again
First time using Rover and I was very happy with the services provided by Siria. She was flexible, prompt and super loving to my two 7mth old Labrador brothers. They are a handful at 70lbs each and she was great. I will definitely seek her help when I need a sitter again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manassas choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
